    Chicago State. Truly a credit to the city that works.

    Happy New Year Ms UD.

    And to you too Sean O.

    Even the sports consultants our trustees hired to reassure them about the wonders of Division I and the 7-figure deficits it annually generates tossed a giant cooler of chilled Gatorade over the ambition that some of the trustees have to add football. This does demonstrate what a rich fantasy life they have on the south side, since we are in considerably better shape than Chicago State.
